In the State Legislature, _______________ is subject to dissolution.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Correct Answer is option 3 i.e. Legislative Assembly.
In the State Legislature of India, the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) is the house that is subject to dissolution. It is the lower house of the state legislature, and its members are directly elected by the people. The Assembly has a fixed term of five years but can be dissolved earlier by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister, usually when the government loses majority support or during political instability. In contrast, the Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad), if present, is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution; its members retire in a staggered manner.
Other options :
-
House of People (Lok Sabha): Subject to dissolution at the national level.
-
Council of States (Rajya Sabha): Permanent and not dissolved.
-
Legislative Council: Permanent, members retire by rotation, not dissolved.
